  • 1/2 Cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cubed

  Pour in the milk and stir until a soft dough forms. Use additional milk as necessary, ensuring you don't over-mix the dough. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead with floured hands until it comes together. Pat into a disk about 1/2-inch-thick. Flour a round cookie or biscuit cutter and cut into biscuits. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
